As the second quarter of 2020 began, priorities shifted from new acquisitions to focused internal operations centered on asset management and creating initiatives to safely, and efficiently, residents throughout purpose-built accommodations across the country. In addition, university plans have remained fluid while creating strategies for returning students to campus, finalizing on-campus scheduling logistics and determining the appropriate number of students to house on-campus. For example, Washington State University will have approximately 1,400 students seek alternative housing for Fall 2020, the College of Charleston announced 800 students will be shifting to off-campus housing and LSU is allowing Freshmen to live off-campus, to name a few. The vast majority of universities will be lowering their on-campus capacity for the fall of 2020, and perhaps beyond, to the point of off-campus housing demand far exceeding the supply that is available in many submarkets.

10 THE STANDARD AT ST. LOUIS ST. LOUIS, MO 11 2020 STUDENT HOUSING MID-YEAR MARKET OVERVIEW

CAPITAL MARKETS

As of mid-year 2020, capital markets can essentially be broken into two parts: pre-pandemic and pandemic. The GSEs entered 2020 with more of the allotted FHFA regulatory cap remaining than either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac had ever originated in a single year - approximately $80 billion per enterprise. While student housing lending parameters had begun to tighten across the capital spectrum due to an increase in delinquency in the sector, a closer look demonstrated nearly 75 percent of all delinquency in the space was attributable to a handful of owners/operators. Riding nearly a decade of above-average growth, most capital sources had increased allocations coming into the year and were looking for continued diversification into the recession-resilient asset class.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to provide the market with liquidity at historically low interest rates and are, in many cases, the most accretive permanent financing options for well- positioned stabilized assets.

Due to COVID-19, uprecedented volatility spread throughout financial markets as investors attempted to balance the pace of reported coronavirus infections against planned government actions to soften the blow of the economic fallout. Mid-February to mid-March presented one of the most turbulent market environments since the 2008 financial crisis. The S&P officially became a bear market with a 25 percent decline in a record-setting 15-day trading period. The Dow tumbled as much as 10 percent in one day. With recovery timelines unknown and overall uncertainty rising, investors shifted out of risk assets and into cash, sparking a liquidity crunch, especially in the Treasury and credit markets. Investors also noted that balance sheets were becoming more expensive with rising short-term financing costs and focused on offloading as much as possible, narrowing the buyer pool for fixed income products. In response, the Federal Reserve announced two emergency rate cuts to the benchmark rate, dropping the target range from 0 percent - 0.25 percent, along with pledging additional liquidity to short-term funding markets. The Fed also renewed quantitative easing with a commitment to purchase Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. The unemployment rate peaked in April at 14.7 percent with 23 million out of work. However, May and June witnessed a record rebound, adding 7.5 million jobs, and the equity markets bounced back to near pre-pandemic levels.

As the student housing sector moves closer to “heads-in-beds” and the uncertainty surrounding on-campus classes dissipates, one-by-one, lenders are stepping back into the market, including the once frozen, private-label CMBS. Most lenders, however, are requiring an additional debt service reserve of 6 to 18 months that could be held up to the 2021 academic year. The GSEs, by-and-large, are constraining student housing loans at a maximum loan-to-value of 65 percent with a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.35x. However, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to provide the market with liquidity at historically low interest rates and are, in many cases, the most accretive permanent financing options for well-positioned stabilized assets. Additionally, loan-to-value and minimum debt service coverage ratios can change at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s discretion, and general terms are expected to remain fluid throughout the second half of 2020.

Headed into the second half of the year, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac still have $48.2 and $52.2 billion remaining under the current FHFA volume cap, respectively. Student housing has maintained its resiliency with minimal loss to occupancy or collections during the pandemic. Further, a delay in new deliveries and many universities displacing students from on-campus housing is expected to drive demand for well-positioned assets within the space. Newmark Knight Frank expects to see a significant increase in quote inflows for Q3 and Q4, along with many new entrants into the preferred equity and mezzanine debt spaces as capital looks to fill the dislocation between senior loan constraints and quality investments.
